Both Phantom Blade and Lightning Wolf tried to stare each other down as the vault room grew quiet. Lightning Wolf got his claws ready to strike out while Phantom Blade responded to the challenge by drawing his sword. They then charged at each blocking each other's attacks with their weapons, both trying to find an opening in the others fighting style.
Phantom blade fired off his wind attack and Wolf launched his lightning bolts at the same. The attacks met head on both trying to overpower the other. The room shook with the powers that collided causing the curator to have to step back a ways to avoid getting hit by the possible back lash. The wind and lightning subsided apparently having canceled each other out. The pause didn't last long as Phantom charged in to attack at close range and they both continued their back and forth dance of slashing and cutting.
"Looks like someone is improving" Phantom said as he brought his sword down to slash at Wolf, but he used his steel clawed glove to catch the blade catching Phantom by surprise. Wolf took advantage of his surprise and brought his other hand up and punched him in the chest sending his enemy across the room to slam into the wall behind him.
"Maybe you're just starting to slip up" Wolf taunted at him. Phantom Blade stood up and held his sword out in front of him, he did not look amused. 'If I can just get that sword out of his hands he'll be powerless' Wolf thought eyeing the deadly weapon his enemy held.
Phantom blade noticed how Wolf was eyeing his sword and realized what he was up to. 'That fool thinks separating me from my sword will make me helpless, he doesn't realize me and this weapon are connected' he thought.
"Time to end this" Phantom said in an annoyed tone. He swung his sword horizontally and fired off a dozen football-sized crystal spears. Wolf thought he was going to miss when he noticed they would go more to the left, but quickly realized he wasn't aiming for him instead he was aiming for the museum curator Kikyo. He quickly dashed over to her and tried to block them all, but a couple managed to scrape his arms and another stuck itself into his stomach just barely missing his vital organs.
Wolf fell over in pain, 'Dammit he knew I would try to save her'. He saw his enemy about to stroll past him and out the door to the vault room, but he quickly reached up and grabbed on to his forearm with his clawed glove.
"Where do you think you're going you cheating bastard" He said tightening his grip making the blades on the glove sink into Phantom's skin.
"Sorry about this, but you left me no choice" Phantom said as he wrenched his arm free receiving four small parallel gashes on his arm. "Also I'm sorry for this too", Wolf was confused about what he would apologize for, when all of the sudden Phantom Blade kicked him in the face knocking him out. Phantom Blade glanced over at the curator who just stood there not saying a word. He then left with the museums most valuable treasure in his pocket.
In The City
Miroku dashed across the roof of buildings chasing after Naraku with determination. Naraku's giant wasp form weaved in and out of the skyscrapers attempting to shake his pursuer. Miroku used the suction force of his wind tunnel to pick up an empty car and throw it at Naraku's wings. The large wasp beast roared in pain as it crashed to the ground, wings now too damaged to fly. He quickly transformed into his black haired, red eyed human form and attempted to flee on foot hoping the crowd of screaming and running people would provide cover. Miroku was not fooled and kept chasing the person he knew was the real Naraku. He followed him into an alley and was nearly caught off guard when he turned a corner Naraku lunged at him his lower body now that of a large spider. Miroku successfully dodged the sneak attack.
"You little fool, you think you an insignificant creature like you is a match for me" Naraku chuckled at him.
"Naraku, I will end you now and avenge my father" Miroku stated with determination.
Naraku lunged at him again trying to impale him with his spider appendages. Miroku carefully dodged each one and pulled out a small explosive he kept in his bag. Activating the bomb he threw it underneath Naraku's spider body.
"You idiot, I'll survive the blast but you and your frail human body will die" Naraku said and then laughed at his foolishness.
"Oh I think I will be just fine" Miroku said with a smile as he held his hand out in front of him.
Naraku gasped in surprise that was short lived when the explosion went off. Miroku used his wind tunnel to absorb the flames from the part of the blast that would have killed him, leaving him completely unharmed. Naraku was not as lucky as he took the full brunt of the explosion that obliterated most of his lower spider body and sent him flying out of the alley and across the street to hit the side of a building. Miroku walked over to his wounded body and saw his lower body turn back into a humans' as he panted from pain and exhaustion.
"Ah now I remember why that ability looks so familiar" Naraku began to chuckle as he went on. "My old partner when I was the scientist Onigumo, he was the one who turned me in to the police, which resulted in my transformation. I later exacted my revenge by placing his own miniature black hole experiment inside him. He found a way to resist it for a few years, but in the end it still ripped him apart" Naraku noticed how Miroku's fist tightened as he spoke and smirked. "I see, so you're his son. The black hole was passed to you genetically, but some genetic alteration allows you to use it as you please without risk of being destroyed by it".
"Enough talk, it ends here" Miroku prepared to use his wind tunnel to destroy Naraku once and for all.
"Don't get so cocky!" Naraku shouted as he thrust his hand out turning it in to a large tentacle that extended to grab a hold of a civilian that happened to get to close in her curiosity. Miroku had to stop himself as Naraku held a lovely young lady hostage in front of him.
"You coward!" Miroku yelled.
"Sticks and stones, humans really are such inferior creatures. Now to business, I'm leaving with this girl and if you try to follow she dies" Naraku gave the typical villain ultimatum.
"You know I don't like being touched on the first date" The girl in Naraku's grasp spoke.
"What did you…" Naraku didn't get to finish as the girl swung her foot back as hard as she could nailing him in the groin. Naraku kneeled over in pain releasing his grip on the girl. Miroku looked surprised at this girls strength, but quickly shook it off and waited for the moment she got out of the line of fire.
"You little…" Naraku was interrupted again as the now freed girl sweep kicked him in the jaw knocking him back and away from her. Miroku was quick to act and ran over to Naraku shoving his hand into his face and activated his wind tunnel. Naraku screamed as he was pulled into the black hole in Miroku's hand face first, followed by the rest of his body and was crushed into oblivion.
"It's over now, finally" Miroku sat down on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief and exhaustion.
"Are you alright" the girl that freed herself from Naraku said to him.
"Yes I am now" He said looking over to see the most lovely girl he had ever met walk over to him causing him to ignore his previous fatigue and stand up to greet her.
"So is he dead?" She asked
"Why yes he is mam, he won't be troubling you or this city ever again" He stated in a very corny super hero like fashion. "You helped me immensely miss, may I know your name" he said stepped closer to her and reached his hand behind her.
"Its Sango, and if your hand goes any lower I'll break it off" She said with an angry smile prompting Miroku to pull his hand back and swallow nervously. 'How did she know?' he thought as she watched her retreating form.
"Hey are you going to escort me home or not?" She called back at him.
Miroku quickly caught up to Sango and began to walk beside her as she led the way to her home. 'I think I just found my future wife' he thought.
Inuyasha stepped out of the black rift into his apartment. He set the jewel and his sword on the table and took off his hood and mask. Stripping down to his red boxer shorts he sat on the couch to take a triumphant break. Pulling out his phone he texted Koga that he made it to his apartment and was okay. He grew a little worried when he didn't get a reply, but decided to wait at least an hour then try contacting him again.
He picked up his sword and the jewel and placed his weapon in the usually hiding spot before leaving the jewel in his secret room with the other treasures. His white hooded jacket and black pants he decided to throw away since he wouldn't be needing them anymore, but he decided to keep his dog mask as a memento. He quickly took a shower and wrapped his damaged arm that he got from Lightning Wolf in bandages. An hour went by as he sat on his couch phone in hand as he waited for a response from his boyfriend Koga. He decided to call him only to get his voicemail so he left a another message. His phone started to ring thinking it was Koga he looked at the ID but was disappointed to see his older brother's name so he answered it.
"I take it you were successful?" Sesshomaru's smooth voice asked.
"Of course I was" he replied somewhat snappy.
"Did something happen Inuyasha" his brother asked worried.
"Its just I haven't heard anything from Koga yet and I'm scared something might have happened to him"
"I'm sure he's fine Inuyasha, according to my info the police are still sorting through the chaos at the museum and interviewing witnesses, he's probably still there looking for you"
"Your probably right Sesshomaru. So does your info say what happened with Naraku, did he escape again" he asked trying to take his mind off of Koga for now.
"Actually not this time" his brother chuckled.
"No way, they actually caught him!" he said excited at that monster finally being stopped.
"Better, apparently the hero known as Wind Tunnel chased him down and used his power to destroy him completely. From what I gather he had some sort of personal vendetta against Naraku"
"Well that's good to hear" he said relieved at one less menace to worry about.
"Indeed it is perhaps you should look into recruiting him for your future organization"
"Maybe" Inuyasha thought about and realized it would be good to have the guy who took down Naraku on his side in the future.
"So little brother, shall we begin building your organization now" Sesshomaru asked.
"Well next week I'm moving in with Koga, so let's get things moving this week" Inuyasha said.
"Shall we meet this Monday then?" he asked.
"Fine by me"
"See you then Inuyasha" his brother said.
"Bye Sess" He hung up.
I'm so sorry for the long wait, but I kind of got stuck on what needed to happen. You know that type of writers block where you know what has to happen in your story, but you have trouble figuring out how it will get there. That's what I had for this story.
This chapter is has probably the most time I will ever spend on Miroku and Sango, the rest of their story will be told through bits and pieces. On another note Naraku will not be coming back he's dead and gone now. The real conflict is between Inu and Koga
As for the reason why Koga and Inuyasha don't recognize each others voices. The dog mask Inuyasha wears muffles his voice a little plus he speaks with more attitude then Koga is used to. As for Koga's voice he also speaks with a different tone of voice than what Inu is used to plus Inu doesn't see him as a real threat so he doesn't pay much attention to Lightning Wolfs features or voice.
